I'm a Registered Dietitian who works with clients in the Durham Region! I use evidence-based recommendations to help you achieve your nutrition goals. I have many hearty and delicious recipes to share! My office is in Courtice, ON. I regularly work with clients from Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, Pickering, Newcastle, Bowmanville and Courtice.
Summer is such a happy time, especially during this strange time in the world. This summer also seems to be especially HOT so far – so you’re not going to be wanting to spend a lot of time in the kitchen cooking while appliances are heating up the room.
The warmer weather is re-introducing me to my love for sandwiches! Also, who says that sandwiches can’t fit into a healthy diet? They certainly can! Pack them with veggies, healthy fats and protein and you have yourself a balanced meal!
We’re going to be spending more time in our backyards as the weather gets nicer but our outside travels remain limited. I encourage you to use your backyard oasis as an ‘escape’ from the inside world!
However, sometimes when we think of a patio meal, we think of something is that is super indulgent. This doesn’t have to be the case! I’m here to provide some guidance and ideas for fun, seasonal meal/snack and drink ideas that provide balance, nutrition and flavour. Let’s get into it!
